  <meta name='DC.Description' content='The Darwin Core extension for genebanks (DwC germplasm)
    was developed in 2009 for sharing genebank datasets with the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit
    from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The GBIF IPT use the Darwin Core as the 
    Core data standard and implements the Star Schema with extensions to the Darwin Core.
    The DwC germaplsm provides some of the fundamental terms from the plant genetic resouces
    community for food and agriculture (PGRFA). Most of these terms are from the Multi-Crop Passport
    Descriptor List (MCPD) maintained by Bioversity International and the Food and Agriculture Organization
    of the United Nations (FAO). Some few additional terms developed by the European Coopertive Programme for 
    Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR).'/>

  <th>Abstract:</th>
  <td>The Darwin Core extension for genebanks (DwC germplasm) was developed to provide a bridge between the 
  established standards in use by the genebank community for plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) 
  and the standards maintained by the Biodiversity Information Standards/Taxonomic Databases Working Group 
  (<a href='http://www.tdwg.org' target='_blank'>TDWG</a>).
  The DwC germplasm provides an extension to the <a href='http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms' target='_blank'>Darwin Core</a>
  standard of the TDWG for occurrences.
  Darwin Core can be seen as an extension to the Dublin Core Metata Data Initiative
  <a href='http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/' target='_blank'>(DCMI)</a> terms.
  <br/><br/>
  The primary objective for creating the DwC germplasm was to describe the additional terminology required
  for exchange of genebank datasets using the
  <a href='http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/' target='_blank'>GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT)</a>.
  The terms included in the DwC germplasm are from the Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors 
  (<a href='http://www.bioversityinternational.org/index.php?id=19&user_bioversitypublications_pi1[showUid]=2192' target='_blank'>MCPD</a>)
  and the proposed descriptors for germplasm characterization and evaluation data (C&E)
  (see: <a href='http://www.epgris3.eu/EPGRIS3%2020090507workshop.htm' target='_blank'>[EPGRIS3_WORKSHOP]</a> and
  <a href='http://www.epgris3.eu/docs/activities/2-05/Inclusion%20of%20C&E%20data.pdf'>[EPGRIS3_C&E]</a>)
  from the <a href='http://www.epgris3.eu' target='_blank'>EPGRIS3 group</a> of the 
  European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources <a href=http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/Index.htm' target='_blank'>(ECPGR)</a>.
  <br/><br/>
  This version 0.1 of the DwC germplasm was developed by the Nordic Genetic Resources Center 
  (<a href="http://www.nordgen.org" target="_blank">NordGen</a>
  and Bioversity International (<a href="http://www.bioversityinternational.org" target="_blank">Bioversity</a>) in 2009.
